Revolutionary war service ; he served for additional periods, making a total 
of six years and one month. Tradition says that Davis Wasgate once said in 
a church meeting. " seven years have I served in the cause of my country ; 
sixty-three in the cause of the King of Kings." He afterwards served as Jus- 
tice of the Peace for fifty years, and for a long succession of years was chosen 
by his fellow townsmen to represent them in the General Court of Massachu- 
setts. Further proof of his patriotism is given in the fact that he gave three 
sons to the War of 1812, two serving as officers and a third being a prisoner 
for a year and a half in one of the notorious British prison ships.
